donsurber.blogspot.com Clinton liked Pedo Island, Chelsea liked the yachts
A Clinton insider told Clinton-friendly Vanity Fair that that Bill Clinton was addicted to Jeff Epstein's Pedo Island, and Chelsea was addicted to Ghislaine Maxwell's lifestyle of yachts and mansions.
The magazine reported, "Doug Band worked alongside Bill Clinton every day for nearly two decades, first as a body man and then as one of the primary architects of his lucrative and often-fraught post-presidency. Then came a seismic falling out with accusations of self-dealing and soap-opera-level psychodrama. Now, for the first time since leaving Clinton’s orbit, Band goes on the record about his days in Clintonworld."
The story began, "Doug Band’s office at Teneo, the corporate advisory firm he co-founded, is decorated like a wing of the Bill Clinton presidential library. Framed photographs of the 42nd president adorn virtually every surface"
Let's skip to the chase. He was working with the Fake Charity Hillary set up to launder bribes from foreigners when she was secretary of state. The story called it the Foundation.
The story said, "Around the time Band launched Teneo in June 2011, Chelsea summoned Band and his cofounder Declan Kelly to the Clinton office in Harlem. Band walked in to find Bill flanked by Chelsea and her husband, financier Marc Mezvinsky. According to Band, Chelsea said Band’s $2.5 million offer to put her dad on Teneo’s advisory board wasn’t enough. She wanted Band to give her and Mezvinsky an ownership position in Teneo. To Band, it felt like a shakedown. 'I thought she was kidding or deeply sick,' he told me. Band looked across the table at Bill, but he sided with Chelsea. Band refused to give up an equity stake. The meeting ended badly. A Clinton family spokesperson denies that Chelsea asked for equity."
Mezvinsky is her husband.
He too is Democrat spawn. His dad was a Democrat congressman who went to prison for being a crook. They all are. He just got caught.
The story said, "Over the next months, the conflict played out in Shakespearean terms, with Bill Clinton, the aging king, caught in the middle. Chelsea heard from foundation officials that Band was “hustling” donors to become Teneo clients behind Bill’s back. Band heard that she accused Band of planting a Page Six item about troubles in her marriage, which he denied. Band, meanwhile, told foundation staff that Chelsea was vastly underqualified to be in charge. He found it especially galling that Chelsea accused him of cashing in on his Clinton connections when, in his view, Chelsea benefited far more from her famous last name. He told people she got paid $1.2 million by NBC, not $600,000 as was reported. She had a driver, security, a $10 million apartment, a wedding that cost $5 million, and traveled on private planes. 'Every job she received was based on her name,' Band said, still vexed. 'Mine was based on my reputation, experience, and what I had done.' (A Clinton spokesperson denied Chelsea was paid $1.2 million by NBC.)"
One of the Bush twins also landed an NBC gig. Apparently she is good at it as she now has her own show -- Today with Hoda & Jenna -- replacing Kathie Lee Gifford and outlasting Megyn Kelly.
I doubt NBC will offer a job to the Trump daughters.
The Vanity Fair story continued, "By the fall of 2011, the rivalry had turned into a war of attrition. Band looked for an advantage anywhere he could find one. The Clintons’ ties to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell provided one. Band told me he had been trying to push Epstein out of Clinton’s orbit ever since their much-discussed 2002 trip to Africa aboard Epstein’s private 727, dubbed the Lolita Express.
"Band recalled that Epstein had made a bunch of ridiculous claims on the trip, like boasting that he invented the derivatives market. Band said he had no idea about Epstein’s sex crimes back then but got enough bad vibes that he advised Clinton to end the relationship. But Clinton continued to socialize with Epstein and take his money. In 2006 Epstein donated $25,000 to the Clinton Foundation. Clinton made more than two dozen trips on Epstein’s jet around this time, Epstein’s flight logs show. In January 2003, according to Band, Clinton visited Epstein’s private Caribbean island, Little St. James. Band said it was one of the few trips he declined to go on in his time with Clinton. A Clinton spokesperson said the president had never been to the island and provided detailed travelogue entries of the period in question that did not contain a visit.
"Chelsea had ties to Epstein and Maxwell, Band said; he showed me a photo of Bill and Chelsea posing with Epstein and Maxwell at the King of Morocco’s wedding. Chelsea remained friends with Maxwell for years after the press revealed Maxwell was a close associate of Epstein’s. For instance, Chelsea invited Maxwell to her 2010 wedding at the Brooke Astor estate in Rhinebeck, New York, after Epstein had pleaded guilty in Florida to procuring sex from a minor.
"'Ghislaine had access to yachts and nice homes. Chelsea needed that,' Band told me.
"A Clinton family spokesperson said Chelsea was on friendly terms with Maxwell because of a mutual friend (Gateway computer founder Ted Waitt) and only took one yacht trip with Maxwell in 2009: 'It wasn’t until 2015 that Chelsea became aware of the horrific allegations against Ghislaine Maxwell and she hopes that all the victims find justice. Chelsea was friendly with her because of Maxwell’s relationship with a dear friend. When that relationship ended, Chelsea’s relationship with her ended as well.'"
2015?
Everyone else in the world knew Epstein was a pedophile when he was convicted in 2008.
The story said, "In late October 2011, Band instructed Bill Clinton’s office to bar Maxwell from all Clintonworld events as a way of driving a wedge between Maxwell and Chelsea. 'I knew in telling everyone to stop including Ghislaine that Chelsea and her father would be very angry. It made it harder for them to justify being close to her,' Band said."
He eventually was kicked out of Clintonworld.
The story said, "These days, friends give Band periodic updates about his former boss. Mostly, the news isn’t good. Clinton has largely retreated from public life, though not necessarily by choice. Democrats are abandoning him as the media uncovers new details about his ties to Epstein and Maxwell. A few hours before Clinton was scheduled to speak at the Democratic National Convention, on August 18, the Daily Mail published previously unseen photos from the 2002 trip to Africa with Epstein. In one, Clinton slouches in an airport chair grinning boyishly as a 22-year-old blond masseuse named Chauntae Davies works on his shoulders (Davies accused Epstein of raping her numerous times during a four-year period). The Biden campaign allotted just five minutes for Clinton’s taped convention address that none of the networks carried live. Band told me he didn’t watch."
But Chelsea survives, the daughter of two Democrat crooks is married to the son of one.
The devil takes care of his minions.
Well, as long as they are still of use to him.
Ask Jeff Epstein how that works.
